Returns:

xbool CheckIsSaveAllowed (xbool ShowUI)

Check if given model can be saved along with all its subordinate models that are to be saved together with it according to their modification status and the configuration option 'save_objects'.

This will also check the current UI context to see if it is currently safe to save the model, and so calling this function at different times might return different results.

Manual References:: Models: Model Information, Models: Model Information

Parameters:

ShowUI: Indicates whether the Conflicts dialog should be shown to user to resolve conflicts (if they are detected); when set to false no UI is enabled and the model is considered as modifiable if there are no conflicts that could not be overridden or resolved by default resolution actions.

Returns:: The boolean save access status. If it is true, the check is successful. If it is false, the model or at least one of its subordinate models can not be saved due to remaining unresolved non-overridable conflicts. Conflicts will not be shown if the model currently cannot be saved due to UI restrictions; the function will return false regardless of this flag.

xbool CheckIsModifiable (xbool ShowUI)

Check if given model is modifiable, indicating that the model could be saved (without checking for any subordinate models).

For a generic model, if ShowUI is true, all its instances are also checked.

Manual References:: Models: Model Information, Models: Model Information

Parameters:

ShowUI: Indicates whether the Conflicts dialog should be shown to user to resolve conflicts (if they are detected); when set to false no UI is enabled and the model is considered as modifiable if there are no conflicts that could not be overridden or resolved by default resolution actions.

Returns:: The access status. If it is true, the model is modifiable.
